Las Vegas, January 7, 2025 – NVIDIA has officially launched its highly anticipated RTX 50 Series GPUs at CES 2025, marking a significant leap in gaming and AI-driven performance. The lineup includes the flagship RTX 5090, the high-end RTX 5080, and the mid-range RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti, all powered by the revolutionary Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4 technology.
RTX 50 Series Release Dates and Pricing
The RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 will hit the shelves on January 30, 2025, with the RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5070 following in February 2025. The desktop GPUs are priced as follows:
- RTX 5090: $1,999
- RTX 5080: $999
- RTX 5070 Ti: $749
- RTX 5070: $549
For laptop enthusiasts, the RTX 50 Series mobile GPUs will be available starting March 2025, with prices ranging from $1,299 for the RTX 5070 to $2,899 for the RTX 5090.
Performance Breakthroughs with DLSS 4
The RTX 50 Series introduces DLSS 4, a game-changing AI-driven technology that promises up to 8x performance gains over traditional rendering. DLSS 4 features Multi Frame Generation, which generates up to three additional frames per rendered frame, enabling ultra-smooth gameplay at 4K 240 FPS with full ray tracing. NVIDIA demonstrated this with Cyberpunk 2077, where the RTX 5090 achieved 238 FPS compared to the RTX 4090’s 106 FPS.
DLSS 4 also incorporates Transformer-based AI models, enhancing image quality with reduced ghosting, higher detail in motion, and improved temporal stability. Over 75 games and apps, including Alan Wake 2 and Star Wars Outlaws, will support DLSS 4 at launch.
RTX 5090: A Powerhouse in a Compact Design
The RTX 5090 is NVIDIA’s flagship GPU, boasting 32GB of GDDR7 memory, 21,760 CUDA cores, and a memory bandwidth of 1,792GB/s. Despite its immense power, the RTX 5090 features a two-slot design, making it compatible with small form factor PCs. NVIDIA claims it delivers twice the performance of the RTX 4090, thanks to DLSS 4 and the Blackwell architecture.
RTX 5080 and RTX 5070: Affordable High Performance
The RTX 5080, priced at $999, offers 16GB of GDDR7 memory and 10,752 CUDA cores, promising twice the performance of the RTX 4080. Meanwhile, the RTX 5070, at $549, is touted to deliver RTX 4090-level performance at a fraction of the cost, making it a compelling choice for budget-conscious gamers.
RTX 50 Series: A Leap Forward in AI and Gaming
The RTX 50 Series GPUs are not just about raw power; they also introduce RTX Neural Shaders and RTX Neural Faces, leveraging generative AI to enhance texture compression and facial animations. These innovations, combined with DLSS 4, position the RTX 50 Series as a game-changer for both gamers and creators.
Conclusion
NVIDIA’s RTX 50 Series GPUs redefine the boundaries of gaming and AI performance. With the RTX 5090, 5080, and 5070, gamers can expect unparalleled performance, stunning visuals, and cutting-edge AI features. Pre-orders for the RTX 5090 and RTX 5080 begin today, with availability starting January 30, 2025.
